I probably spent much more time on it than it should've taken, but I had a few stumbling blocks to overcome (mainly my own hardheaded attitude and not properly looking at the manuals). It would've saved me a good hour had I known that mounts on aftermarket fans don't come pre-threaded... *I have three things left to do; • I forgot a pci cable for the gpu (derp didn't think both were needed) • Bottom rgb strip is tacky af and I need to find better placement for it. • Cable management (or rather the lack thereof) is absolutely abysmal and I can barely fit the side panel on. It was going well and I had a good idea of how things were going to be, but then the fan cables came around... Anyways, parts • Case - Fractal Design Define Mini C • Mobo - Asus Strix z270g • Cpu - Intel core i7-7700k 4.2ghz • Gpu - Asus GeForce GTX Strix 1080 OC • Ram - G.skill Tridentz RGB 32gb • Cpu cooler - NZXT Kraken X52 • Psu - Evga Supernova something or other 650w • Fans - Corsair HD120 rgb x6 • Rgb led strips - Bitfenix Alchemy 2.0 60cm x2 • Cables - Bitfenix Alchemy 2.0 blue Pics later when I finish the cables and what not. Pics (yes, I know my cable management is [i]still[/i] complete shite) http://i.imgur.com/et7bc8Pr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8uhM24Ar.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Egzs6Rxr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rmnitAyr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sic3n1Yr.jpg Edit: I finally realized what has been bugging me... In my worn out state, I connected the pcie cables backwards (over the gpu rather than under as one normally would)... I'm not going to bother fixing it until I have to take off the panels for something.
